RE: polishing chrome?????
I wouldn't use it. It has fine abrasives in it. It is supposed to be good on brass but I have nicknamed it "neverworks". I really hate the stuff.

Chrome can get dingy or dull form being dirty. I usualy wash it off and windex clean. then I will use chrome polish which takes off the uneven contaminents and brightens the chrome even more.

RE: polishing chrome?????
Vegas - I had heard ( from a reliable source) that chrome polish wasn't good for bikes due to the fact that they don't get weathered as much as cars. This allowed a chemical reaction to take place that wouldn't normally happen with a more weathered surface. I always thought that this may be BS but wasn't willing to take the chance on screwing up my chrome. I take it from your post you've been using chrome polish for a while?

I use the never dull on my ala. rocker covers and side cases just lightly to clean off the water spots..when I clean the bike, 99FLHT, it looks like new, but just rub enough to clean it, or you may go through that film of protector, have no idea what it is, that they spray on it..been doing it since the bike was new.[sm=biker.gif]

i spray a foam non ammonia glass cleaner into a microfiber cloth, wipe the chrome down then wipe clean with a dry microfiber cloth. works great. chrome looks as good as new.
